Big Ten Power Rankings, Week 6

1) Penn State - so far, they've earned it. I think their position a top the conference standings says a lot more about how weak the Big Ten is than how strong the Lions are. Will they beat Michigan for the first time in a decade this week? Well, Minnesota certainly didn't have any problems snapping a long losing streak to the Wolverines last week.
2) Michigan State - if the loss to Michigan was a fluke, they are clearly one of the best teams in the conference
3) Minnesota - gotta give credit where it's due
4) Iowa - they had a nice road win in West LaFayette and their team might be coming together just like last year
5) Ohio State - yep, still a one dimensional team
6) Wisconsin - good offense, not so good defense
7) Michigan - Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. How much longer until basketball season? (thank god we'll actually be good this year)
8) Purdue - not so good
9) Northwestern - just enough offense to scare a few teams this year
10) Indiana - they might win another game or two
11) Illinois - better luck next year
